Subject: [PULL 2/5] tcg: Workaround macOS 11.2 mprotect bug
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 19:43:29 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210324014332.6331-3-richard.henderson@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210324014332.6331-1-richard.henderson@linaro.org>

There's a change in mprotect() behaviour [1] in the latest macOS
on M1 and it's not yet clear if it's going to be fixed by Apple.

As a short-term fix, ignore failures setting up the guard pages.
